Plex Jail Storage Source and Destination Help

[ARAMP1]

I clearly have something messed up with my Plex Jail source and destination.

Plex seems to only search in the /var file, so I put the source media file to that destination file. Now, everything seems to show up in my windows share (even though I've only listed the Media1 file in the share.

Any ideas?

Lucky for you, a simple search contains all the answers:

Yeah, that's what I got too when I searched. I've manually entered the destination file and it seemed to work. Unfortunately, I still don't see why all the other folders are in my Media1 file.

Source is the FreeNAS dataset/folder you want shared with the Jail. You told the jail to mount that folder in a location Plex is creating other folders, this is not hard.

If you didn’t want plex doing that, then don’t do that.

I must have messed something up in the windows share. Deleted it and re-shared the media file and it worked like a champ.
